Level 1 is the smallest
if true or false the answer is
False Level 2 holds more
Why such a confusing block of text? The answer is no. The L2 cache typically always contains more storage area than the L1 cache in modern computing.

It is usually much faster than main memory and somewhat faster than Level 2 Cache. Faster usually means more expensive (or at least scarcer), so L1 cache is usually smaller than L2. For example, Intel's Core i7 (Nehalem) architecture features 64 KB of L1 cache (split between 32 KB used for data and 32 KB used for program instructions), and 256 KB of L2 cache for each of its cores, with between 4 and 12 MB of L3 cache shared among the cores.

Does level 1 cache memory always contains more storage area than Level 2 cache?
On the contrary, the L1 cache NEVER cointains more storage area than L2 cache. The L1 is faster with a shorter latency than L2 cache, but pays for this by being smaller size-wise and being more expensive to manufacture.
Why is cache memory needed?
Cache Memory is needed because Hardware implements cache as a block of memory for temporary storage likely to be used again.

What are the type of cache memory?
There are different type of cache memory: processor cache memory, cache memory ram,1 cache memory l2, cache memory, CPU cache memory, disk cache memory, hard disk cache, cache memory motherboard.
What is full form of CACHE?
Cache is not an abbreviation. Cache comes from the French word caché, meaning "storage" or "hidden place."
What is a cache outside the processor called?
L2 cache. Today's processors all have some memory on the processor chip (called a die). Memory on the processor die is called Level 1 cache (L1 cache). Memory in the processor package, but not on the processor die, is called Level 2 cache (L2 cache). Some processors use a third cache farther from the processor core, but still in the processor package, which is called Level 3 cache (L3 cache).
What is the name of the memory cache that is closest to the processor die but is not housed on die?
Level 2 cache (L2 cache)
